Welcome
This site is designed to help organisations that handle complex and sensitive data such as healthcare practices, academic bodies and individual professionals tackle the complex world of data protection including IT security. Many of us specialise in our own field and have little time to keep up to date with what is required to keep sensitive data safe. Our approach is Data Secure - Person Safe. This reflects the high level of care that each professional provides clients, students and patients every day. Good data protection readiness gives assurance that we have peoples sensitive data secure when we work with them, keeping them safe in our uncertain internet world. This site draws together key information and resources for those busy running a business. It references leading guidance, providing check lists and tools to aid compliance.
